Ducati bikes 2027: Monoscocca, GraviaX and eMTBs, prices

In early September 2026, on the terrace of the Misano circuit during the International Bike Festival, Ducati unveiled its 2027 bicycle range: one road bike, one gravel bike and two eMTBs. What follows comes from HDmotori (article of 4 September 2026) and other Italian outlets. These are the brand's claims, not our own tests. Prices are list prices, indicative as of 17 October 2026: check the official site and dealers before buying.

Who is behind it: Gruppo Zecchetto

The bikes are developed with Gruppo Zecchetto, which owns brands such as DMT and Alè Cycling. Testers named include Vincenzo Nibali, Elia Viviani, Alessandro Petacchi and Antonio Cairoli. The pitch is a return to an Italian-built product, with carbon frames made by the Veneto-based group: worth noting, since most carbon frames today come out of Asia.

Monoscocca, the road bike

The name comes from the frame, moulded in carbon from a single mould (monoscocca means monocoque). The Monoscocca R carries Shimano Ultegra Di2, takes tyres up to 32 mm and costs 8,590 euros. The Monoscocca RR, with Dura-Ace Di2, claims 7.18 kg and costs 12,990 euros. In size M the stack-to-reach ratio is 1.42 and the head angle 72.3 degrees. A frameset-only option is offered, with the paint scheme customisable online. For context, Bianchi's Specialissima RC lists at 11,550 euros as of June 2026.

GraviaX, the gravel bike

DM-160 R and DM-170 RR, the eMTBs

Both eMTBs share the Avinox M2S motor, with 1,300 W peak, 130 Nm of torque (150 Nm with Boost) and an 800 Wh battery with built-in GPS and eSIM. Three flip chips on the frame adjust geometry, wheel size and travel. The DM-160 R is a 29-inch trail bike with 160 mm RockShox suspension, 23.4 kg and 7,990 euros. The DM-170 RR is a mullet (29 front, 27.5 rear) with 170 mm Öhlins and SRAM GX Eagle AXS, 22.8 kg and 9,490 euros. On the motor, our eMTB motor comparison shows how Avinox stacks up against the competition.

What to ask before buying

Before deciding, ask the dealer three things: the real delivery date (a bike unveiled in September can reach shops months later), the service network for frame and motor, and whether sizes and components match the spec sheet. For eMTBs also check motor software updates and the battery warranty. These questions hold for any new brand: a lovely frame is not enough if a spare part takes two months to arrive.

Our take

The bike market is struggling: in 2025 Italian sales fell 4 percent, according to ANCMA. Launching a 6,000 to 13,000 euro range right now is a bet on the brand more than on the price list. For an enthusiast the interesting parts are the Italian production and the option of buying the frameset alone; if your budget is 3,000 euros, the Ducati range is not the answer. If you are still deciding which kind of bike to get, start with how to choose between road, gravel and MTB, and if eMTBs intrigue you read how e-bikes work and who really needs one. We have not ridden these bikes yet: we will update the article if independent tests appear.
